The car is heading my way from MA to Ca. do the tires in the rear look to be stock fitting or are they wider and maybe the fenders have been rolled?

What size tire is on there? A 225 on a 16" rim would need the fender rolled.

I can't tell and didn't ask the previous owner. He is hard to contact and just thought I would ask. |

They look like 7" fuchs on the car, that would have some fender massaging to get the tire under the fender. Wether the lips were rolled up or the fender pulled out????

The fender does look like it is stretched/rolled... yes.
Look at the lines of reflection. |

Rich Johnson, myself and a few others run 7in in rear with stock fenders. We moved the hub in which sets the wheel in. Mine is 3/4 inch in and I run 911 axles and stubs without spacers, they bolt right in. There are a couple of ways to do this. First is to cut a section from your hub housing, cut hole for caliper and box hole or run 911 caliper. Second is to move the mounting bar, box trailing arm and use an extended shock mount bolt. I like the second best because I pick up better control in tight turns, great for AX

Will be doing a couple of customer cars this summer. I'll try and do a how to with pictures of both set ups. Can show alot more detail off the car. Or you can send me your trailing arms and a $1000.00 and have yours done.

Ok. Pictures are good when you get around to doing one. The only pictures I've ever seen where while they were on the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I have a set of 911 hubs, stubs, axles, CV's, and drive flanges for sale if anyone needs them for this setup...also might be interested in how to use them myself. Looking forward to more info.

All you need is a 3/4 in spacer. First time I did it I made a 3/4 spacer from an old 911 CV joint. I did and maybe someday will again make aluminum spacers.

The car has a 930 transmission, with 930 suspension and brakes along with the appropriate axles etc. That might explain why they fit? |

Rich is still running a 901 with modified 914 trailing arms. You can email him at A914GUY@aol.com. He likes to talk about his car and the tricks he has done on it, he also sells some neat parts
